Because one thing of many possible happens. You keep saying
"Schroedinger's equation is deterministic." That the /equation/ is
deterministic is beside the point. I can write an equation for the toss
of die that shows that the probability of each face is 1/6. That
equation is deterministic. It determines probabilities. And
probabilities tell you that some things happen and some don't. Not that
every face of the die comes up on every throw.*

And you have no answer to what probability means, until you resort to
"uncertainty of self-location", without which there'd be no connection
to actual experience.
